Rhythm Games

There are lots of benefits to rhythm games. It can familiarize students with different genres of music and teach them how they are similar or different. For a lot of people, rhythm is something that has to be learned. That is one reason we are not all fantastic musicians or athletes. Rhythm is easy to pick out in music. There is even a timing key at the beginning of every written song. In athletics it can be harder to find your rhythm. Every movement has its' own specific rhythm. When you jump rope, you have to develop a rhythm before you can do double unders. When you ski race, there is a rhythm that each course demands you follow. If you misstep, then the jump rope will whip you as it catches on a foot and the skier will fall or miss a gate. Rhythm is something that needs to be taught, so why not do it in a way that children will love, with games. This was not my favorite game, I much prefer the real life applications of rhythm, but I still gave it a shot.
